Freida Pinto to sign her first Bollywood film?

Freida Pinto is reportedly considering signing her first Bollywood film.

The actress, who made her debut in Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire, has been approached by Indian filmmakers Vikramaditya Motwane and Navdeep Singh to star in a heroine-orientated film.

A source told Mid-Day: "While her films abroad haven't really worked wonders for her career, she has managed to stay in the spotlight thanks to her immaculate dressing sense and her so-called exotic looks. But this film could change her fortunes."

A source close to Pinto said: "Both Vikram and Navdeep felt that Freida would suit the role. She has liked the script and will take a call soon."

Speaking about the possible casting, Singh said: "It is too early to comment."

The actress who has starred in Hollywood blockbusters such as Rise of the Planet of the Apes and The Immortals, as well as the Woody Allen film You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, denied reports that she had shunned Bollywood for Hollywood and says she is proud of her Indian roots.
